RAZOR-HONE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1921.

Application filed March 12, 1919. Serial No. 282,157.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK J. MInooN, citizenof the United States, residing at San Francisco. in the county of SanFrancisco, State of California, have invented a new and usefulRazor-Hone Holder, of which the following is a specification in suchfull and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art toconstruct and use the same.

This invention relates to a device for holding a razor hone an object ofwhich is to provide means for firmly holding a hone on a convenientstand so that the hone can be horizontal or at an angle, therebyenabling the razor to be honed with greater facility.

Other objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings inwhich the same reference numeral is applied to the same portionthroughout, but I am aware that there may be modifications thereof.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the holder with a hone in position,

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the holder with a hone in position, and

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the holder.

The numeral 1 represents a. horizontally extending base having anupwardly extending post to which the movable portion of the holder issecured. The numeral 2 indicates a pair of depending plates which aresecured to the top of the post by means of a bolt 3, said bolt havingwing nuts l% on its ends. The upper ends of the plates 2 are bentlaterally and have depending ears 2 and 2". The ears 2 and 2 have screws7 extending therethrough, said screws have right and left hand threadsas indicated at F which pass through depending ears 6 and 6 of the twoclamp plates 6 which rest upon the top of the out turned ends of theplates 2.

The clamp plates 6 work in the slotted ends of two blocks 10 and 11 uponwhich blocks the razor hone 5 is placed when the razor is to besharpened.

In practice the hone is secured in the clamps by the operation of thescrews 7. The hone is then turned to the most convenient position foruse. In order to hold the upper ends of the plates 2 in a fixedposition, a screw 12 is threaded into said plates above the basestandard.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is as fol lows:

A Whetstone holder comprising the combination of a base having a rigidpost, of a pair of supporting plates, each plate having a laterallyextending portion with two depending flanges, a bolt for securing thetwo plates to the post, a screw for holding the plates at a fixeddistance from one another at their upper portions, two clamp memberssupported by each plate, and screws passing through the dependingflanges for holding the clamp members in place and for drawing themtogether upon an object.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of March,A. D. 1919.
